Do you guys think a Chargeman Ken videogame would be fun? I think it could be interesting.
Chargeman Ken game
Do people even remember Chargeman Ken?
Who? Why? What would the game be like?
UOOOOOOH
You protect the Earth from Juraliens as Ken by killing them.
To clarify, they attack the earth in a variety of ways and may, in some cases come in disguise and may need to be identified.
knack anime thread on Anon Babble
No way
Maybe a stylish action game or a hack-and-slash similar to Bayonetta or DMC where you can blast Juralians with your Alpha Gun?
also watch astroganger it's surprisingly good
I'm not really sure what this is but I think I saw some cool videos where they made it the Undertale music when I was 11.
It looks familiar
And Ken could transform into his Alpha suit when the power meter is filled after collecting enough energy collectibles/pickups (in the show Ken, could only transform when there is light)
Maybe it could play like Kingdom Hearts, and the Alpha Suit could be like a form change
Yeah it's a very famous source for MAD's aka Japanese YTP and YTPMV's.
Oh is that what they are?
Little baby man
I'm 20
What? Undertale didn't come out that long ago, did it?
You know where's a good place to watch the rest of them? I wanted to check out Astroganger but couldn't find it.
Yeah that could work. I imagine the game's plot progressing similarly to Ratchet & Clank where you travel from planet to planet on missions using your spaceship.
I can also see the game featuring skins based on other Knack anime like Astroganger, Super Tarom, Sarutobi Sasuke, Groizer X, etc..
I didn't really consider interstellar travel, that could make things a bit more interesting.
Is the guy in the OP named kichigai?
Knack's official Youtube channel has the episodes all for free but without subs.
Pirate sites like 9animetv has them as well but honestly I just recommend you to torrent the Discotek subs release off Nyaa.si
nyaa.si
youtube.com
Here have one
Oh, that's convenient I didn't even know Knack had a youtube channel.
That's not the one I watched but thanks I guess?
Hoshi-kun, my Charging Go isn't just for show, I can't just show it to anyone
Remember that one episode where the Juralians were planning to bomb Europe off the map for whatever reason and Ken caught the guy behind the plan? He was a human working with the Juralians and as soon as he was caught, he just shot himself in the head right in front of Ken. And Ken just... fist-bumps in front of the scene
Yeah that was pretty strange
metal
What, like a piss take hack-and-slash that leans into the nonsensical aspects of Ken as hard as it can? I can see it working, could have a cult appeal like God Hand
Seconding Astroganger, it's still pretty cheaply made but I liked the dynamic between the protagonist and Ganger
Chargeman Ken? What's the occasion?
キチガイ
Oh I see
A Chargeman Ken game SHOULD be a kusoge, so bad it's good
There's kind of a lot of bad games, wouldn't it be funnier if the game was good?
Maybe as crazy, but well design
Kantaro deserved so much better.
I love how his relationship with Ganga feels like that of brothers, the cheeky banter they share is genuinely funny.
It's interesting how the Volga episode of Chargeman Ken is actually a rip-off of an episode from this show. The Blasters plant a chip in the head of one of Kantaro's friends to mind control him, and Kantaro becomes deeply depressed having to come to terms with killing him throughout the episode, unlike Ken who just coldly murders Volga without a second thought.
The episodes focused on Kantaro missing his dead mother are pretty melancholic too little did he know, those weren’t the only people he was going to lose. the bittersweet ending made me sad.
Thinking of it, it's like his parents only had him to become a child soldier because his half-alien mom knew she was gonna die soon.
That's pretty brutal
half alien
*alien mom
Her son is a half my bad
Just shoot, only juraliens get in the way of Ken, even when they don't know they are.
This picture's funny
every day is chargeman ken day
fun fact, the show released on april 1st
the joke writes itself
The teacher is so fucking hot
Ken agrees
What is your favorite Chargeman Ken Otomad?
youtube.com
The guy who made this one, made one of Tiny Tiger but it's age restricted and can't be embedded, big shame
Forgive me, Professor Volga!
Astroganger pilot episode
Kentaro uses a small flying vehicle to enter Ganger and actually pilot him from the inside
exec went "nah, kids won't like this and this shit will never catch on - make him sentient!"
three months later, December 3, 1972 , that guy probably wanted to off himself
Square Enix said they're going to make a game using a TBS property, so, maybe?
Chargeman Ken game with KH gameplay
Heck yeah
The only anime that managed to put an animation error into a still image.
Invisible Detective Akira skin
model is simply missing
Oh these are nice, and they got that one vid I was talking about nicovideo.jp
Lmao it's so unfortunate, being the first color mecha anime and now just rotting in obscurity and memes
That pilot felt way more eerie than the final show
It be a kusoge like final sword
youtube.com
They are still happening.
LMAO
Mission: Prevent the Mona Lisa from being captured
Friendly reminder that there was a Ginguiser mobile game.
WAIIIII
Solpherino puts alot of effort in his videos, he's a pretty good artist too
He makes me smile
This thread is very nice and I'm glad it went the way it did.
zanki zero had a character based on chargeman ken in it
yeah, Anon Babble hasn’t had a genuine knack thread in years. seeing people recognize other knack anime here is a surprising revelation
I learned about something from when I was a kid so that's pretty neat.
KNACK 2 BAYBEEEE
based as fuck
CHARGING
GOOOOOO
I kinda recognized it, but thanks to you guys I know what it is.
nicovideo.jp
especially the perfect dark part
Astroganger – 1972
Chargeman Ken – 1974
Mega Man 1 – 1987
Something’s fishy here...
Little boy hero in spandex and a helmet? (Check)
Little girl sidekick, one of them being a blonde ponytailed girl in red? (Check)
Dog/animal companion? (Check)
Someone killing their own similar kind? (Kantaro, an alien, killing other aliens. Rock, a robot, killing other robots) (Check)
Mega Man 8 introduces Duo, a larger bulkier *alien* robot who helps Rock and looks suspiciously similar to Ganga.
Capcom… explain.
classic
CK has lot's of cute designs despite the quality of the anime
What a shit game.
fitting for what it's parodying
